Under ako
Mike Kosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sinusulat ko pa lang may halo na'kong kaba
Iniisip ko pa nga kung paano sisimulan
Baka kasi mag-away tayo na 'to pa'ng dahilan
Baka makipagbreak ka sa'kin 'pag itoэ narinig
O 'di kayaэ paglampasuhin na naman ng sahig
Imbis ikaw ang pasan, laging pasan ko ay basura
Na kailangan kong matapon sa loob ng medya-ora
Imbes na yakap ang datnan, sampal pa rin ang sasalubong
Pero kahit ganun, nagmamahal pa rin saэo
Kahit na sinasabihan na under ako
Mahal kita, alam mo bang lahat ay gagawin
At kahit na madalas mo mang bugbugin nandiyan pa rin
Ang puso ko ay iyong-iyo, ikaw ang laging laman
Mawala man ako, 'di magbabago ang pag-ibig ko saэo
Tinatanggap pa rin kahit na masyado kang demanding
Under daw ako saэo, no, I'm understanding
At 'wag na daw akong gumawa ng gusot
Pagka't hindi daw eepekto ang mga palusot
Yari ako pag nahuling tumingin sa iba
Sэa na lang daw ang tingnan hanggang lumabo ang mata
Ewan ko ba kung bakit may ganitong relasyon
Kahit naiipit na minsan sa mga sitwasyon
Akoэ taga laba, taga ligpit, taga igib ng tubig
Ang nooэ kumukunot sa tuwing balde ay natatabig
Hindi ko naman sinasadya, ngayon akoэ namumutla
Mukhang away nagbabadya at mabato 'ko ng batya
At kahit na kinukutya ako ng iyong magulang
Ginawa ko ay labis labis at hindi ako nagkulang
Эon na nga lang, siguro masunurin ako
Kaya naman sinasabihan na under ako
Hindi kita pagpapalit dahil ikaw ang mahal
Kahit sa piling moэ sakal ako ay sumugal
Hindi naman siguro habang buhay na gan'to
At magsasawa ka na rin sa'kin ng kababato
Ng mga baso, kutsara, at saka ng pinggan
Natataranta na kapag boses moэ napakinggan
Ayoko nang balikan ang away at tulakan
Sapat na sa'kin na kasama ka at ikaэ halikan
Yakapin mo na lang ako kesa sa kurutin
Pigilan mo ang эong barkada na akoэ kurutin
Pagka't hindi niya lang alam na ikaw ang mundo
Kasi minsan lang ma-inlove ang taga tondo
Kahit gaano ko katigas ay kayang palambutin
Sabihin lang ang эong utos walang dabog na gagawin
Pero kahit na ganyan ka sa'kin tandaan mo 'to
Na may isang under na tulad kong nagmamahal saэo

Line by Line Meaning
Maraming love song story pero ito ay iba
There are many stories about love songs, but this one is different.
Sinusulat ko pa lang may halo na'kong kaba
I already have nerves even as I write this.
Iniisip ko pa nga kung paano sisimulan
I'm still thinking about how to start it.
Baka kasi mag-away tayo na 'to pa'ng dahilan
Maybe this song will lead to arguments between us.
Baka makipagbreak ka sa'kin 'pag ito narinig
Maybe you'll break up with me when you hear this song.
O 'di kayaэ paglampasuhin na naman ng sahig
Or maybe I'll be pushed to the ground again.
Imbis ikaw ang pasan, laging pasan ko ay basura
Instead of carrying you, I always carry the trash.
Na kailangan kong matapon sa loob ng medya-ora
That I need to throw away within half an hour.
Sa tuwing ako ay aalis, kahit merong pasalubong
Whenever I leave, even if I have a gift for you,
Imbes na yakap ang datnan, sampal pa rin ang sasalubong
Instead of a hug, a slap welcomes me.
Pero kahit ganun, nagmamahal pa rin saэo
But even so, I still love you.
Kahit na sinasabihan na under ako
Even though they say that I'm lower than you.
Mahal kita, alam mo bang lahat ay gagawin
I love you, do you know that I'll do anything for you.
At kahit na madalas mo mang bugbugin nandiyan pa rin
And even if you often hurt me, I'm still here.
Ang puso ko ay iyong-iyo, ikaw ang laging laman
My heart is yours, you're always on my mind.
Mawala man ako, 'di magbabago ang pag-ibig ko saэo
Even if I'm gone, my love for you will never change.
Tinatanggap pa rin kahit na masyado kang demanding
I still accept you even though you're too demanding.
Under daw ako saэo, no, I'm understanding
They say I'm lower than you, but I'm just understanding.
At 'wag na daw akong gumawa ng gusot
And they said I shouldn't cause trouble.
Pagka't hindi daw eepekto ang mga palusot
Because my excuses won't work.
Yari ako pag nahuling tumingin sa iba
I'll be in trouble if I'm caught looking at someone else.
Sэa na lang daw ang tingnan hanggang lumabo ang mata
I should only look at you until my eyesight becomes blurry.
Ewan ko ba kung bakit may ganitong relasyon
I don't know why we have this kind of relationship.
Kahit naiipit na minsan sa mga sitwasyon
Even if I'm sometimes stuck in difficult situations.
Akoэ taga laba, taga ligpit, taga igib ng tubig
I'm the one who does the laundry, cleaning, and water gathering.
Ang nooэ kumukunot sa tuwing balde ay natatabig
My forehead wrinkles every time I spill the bucket.
Hindi ko naman sinasadya, ngayon akoэ namumutla
I don't mean to, but now I'm pale.
Mukhang away nagbabadya at mabato 'ko ng batya
A fight seems to be brewing and I might get hit by a basin.
At kahit na kinukutya ako ng iyong magulang
And even if your parents mock me.
Ginawa ko ay labis labis at hindi ako nagkulang
I did more than enough and didn't come up short.
Эon na nga lang, siguro masunurin ako
I'll just be obedient from now on.
Kaya naman sinasabihan na under ako
That's why they say I'm lower than you.
Hindi kita pagpapalit dahil ikaw ang mahal
I won't choose anyone else because I love you.
Kahit sa piling moЭ sakal ako ay sumugal
Even though I feel suffocated with you, I'm taking a chance.
Hindi naman siguro habang buhay na gan'to
Surely, it won't be like this forever.
At magsasawa ka na rin sa'kin ng kababato
And you'll eventually get tired of throwing rocks at me.
Ng mga baso, kutsara, at saka ng pinggan
Of glasses, spoons, and plates.
Natataranta na kapag boses moэ napakinggan
I get flustered when I hear your voice.
Ayoko nang balikan ang away at tulakan
I don't want to go back to fighting and pushing.
Sapat na sa'kin na kasama ka at ikaэ halikan
It's enough for me to be with you and kiss you.
Yakapin mo na lang ako kesa sa kurutin
Just hug me instead of pinching me.
Pigilan mo ang эong barkada na akoэ kurutin
Stop your friends from pinching me.
Pagka't hindi niya lang alam na ikaw ang mundo
Because they don't know that you're my world.
Kasi minsan lang ma-inlove ang taga tondo
Because people from Tondo only fall in love once.
Kahit gaano ko katigas ay kayang palambutin
No matter how hard I am, you can soften me.
Sabihin lang angэong utos walang dabog na gagawin
Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it without complaint.
Pero kahit na ganyan ka sa'kin tandaan mo 'to
But even though you treat me like that, remember this:
Na may isang under na tulad kong nagmamahal saэo
That there's someone lower like me who loves you.
